I have a large property and am concerned that a wireless doorbell may not be suitable. What is the longest wireless range available in the range of Honeywell wireless doorbells?

The longest wireless range available on a Honeywell wireless doorbell is 200m (measured in open field). However, the range can be extended up to 400m by adding a second wireless doorbell in the chain, if the primary Doorbell is a Series 9 Doorbell which has the Range Extender feature that will pass the signal on to the next doorbell in the chain. Please refer to table below:

Up to 200m (Up to 400m with second doorbell linked)

Series 5 Doorbells

Up to 150m

Series 3 Doorbells

Up to 150m

Note: The wireless range of doorbells is reduced by the materials it has to pass through. In addition, metal items such as radiators, mirror backing or foil backed plaster board situated between the push button and the doorbell can block the signal.

I have a wired doorbell. Can I change to a wireless doorbell?

Yes, Honeywell offer a range of wireless doorbells and compatible push buttons that will allow replacement of an old wired doorbell system.

How do I know what type of doorbell system I currently have?

Check to see if there are wires connected to your existing push button or doorbell. If there are wires, you have a wired doorbell.

Check if Bell Wire is used. If not, we suggest replacing the existing wire with Bell Wire.

Check if there is an adequate length of bare wire exposed, and that it is not folded. 8-9mm of exposed bell wire is recommended.

What type of batteries should I buy for my Honeywell Doorbell?

It is advisable to use good quality alkaline type batteries, because this type of battery has a more stable voltage, and lasts longer than the lower cost zinc-carbon type.

Rechargeable batteries (NiCd or NiMh) are not suitable because they have a lower voltage, and the doorbell circuitry will not operate reliably at the low voltage.

Can I install my push button outside where it gets wet?

Yes, the push button is waterproof ( IP55) and is protected from rain showers.

Can I use the supplied sticky pad to mount the push button to my door frame without using the wall bracket?

No. This is not advisable as the push button is designed to work with the wall bracket for easy battery maintenance. Sticking the push button directly on the door frame without the wall bracket will make it difficult for you to change the batteries in the future.

I have metal door frames, are the supplied fixings for the push button bracket suitable?

No. It is not advisable to mount the push button onto metal surfaces as the material can block wireless signals between the push button and the doorbell. However, if this is the only option then we recommend that you use the sticky pad provided as opposed to using the provided screws.

I have UPVC door frames, are the supplied fixings for the push button bracket suitable?

Yes, all push buttons are supplied with countersink screws suitable for wood and UPVC surfaces. For other applications you may need to source suitable screws and wall plugs.

I have plasterboard walls, are the supplied fixings for the doorbell wall bracket suitable?

No. While the screws and wall plugs supplied with all Honeywell Wireless Doorbells are suitable for most types of wall, for plasterboard walls and some other applications, you may need to source suitable screws and wall plugs.

How do I link additional Honeywell wireless motion sensors?

Press and hold the settings button on the doorbell until an amber light flashes, either from the small LED indicator on the side of the doorbell, or from the Halo Light (Depending on product type).
